You are correct, you can get on Turnpike going north from 470. The entry ramp goes south off of 470 and loops around to take you north.

Temporary closures for construction.

There is a big sign just past mickeylee golf saying no trespassing, right at where the road needs 1 more top. Where we live, we will save 15 mins and many miles going meggison.
We have been using meggison to go to the hwy for over a month now while driving by the no trespassing sign

What construction?

The Villages is doing construction north of 470. The turnpike northbound entrance is south of 470.

We've been using Meggison to 470 for at least a month now. We closed in Newell on March 1st. Makes it much easier to get into Leesburg.
Even during the day it's fine.
I believe they are working on a security booth right at the end of Meggison by 470.
We pass cops all time and they never stop us. I believe they are there to see who comes in and out cause there was a break in on our street a few weeks back.

So after nine months of the road closed sign up, the developer suddenly decides that they want to make it easier for other construction vehicles to move? Why didn't they want to make it easier since last June?

Yes, you can get on 470 Northbound. Just before you get to the overpass you turn left and take the ramp that loops around to the right. We do it all the time when we play golf at Arlington Ridge or Plantation at Leesburg.
